February PTI blog hop

Today Papertrey Ink has their monthly blog hop.  The colors as I interpreted them are soft which is a little outside my norm.  This was a good challenge for me to stretch outside my comfort zone.

Here is the link if you are interested in joining along Blog Hop.

This is what I created.

Supplies are all PTI.

Stamps - Corner Adorner February & Sentiment Staples - Birthday

Ink - Lemon Tart, Spring Moss, Pale Peony & Lilac Grace

Cardstock - Soft Stone & Lilac Grace

I hope you enjoyed this cute card and join in over on PTI's blog.

Thank you for stopping by.

A real quick post so I can get this up on PTI's blog for the challenge due in the morning.

PTI 11th Anniversary challenges

Papertrey Ink will be retiring stamp sets in May.  The challenge was to use a set off of the retiring list.
I have had this set for quite some time and haven't really used it yet.  This was my perfect opportunity.  At first I tried to do some stamping but then realized that the images pre-printed would look perfect after cutting them out with the matching dies.
I was so happy  how quickly this came together being that I wanted to get this done on a work night.

Here is my card

Supplies:

Make It Market kit Color Pop Butterflies
Keep it Simple Birthday III stamp

PTI 11th Anniversary

Today's challenge was to use only dies to create a card.  No stamping allowed.  I had to put on my thinking cap for this one as most of my cards are stamped floral images.  You can check out the challenge here.
I found the perfect PTI die to create this card.

I just love how this turned out with all the different greens I used.

Supplies:

PTI  You've Been Framed Diamond Die
PTI Happy birthday
PTI cardstock colors - Simply Chartreuse, Tropical Teal & Saffron Spice

Thank for stopping by!

It's Christmas Card day

Over at SimonSaysBlog they are having a contest to win a gift certificate to their online store for uploading a picture of your Christmas cards that you have made this year.
I was going to quickly upload my photos using PhotoBucket to no avail.  That website drives me nutty.  So a quick blog post and off I go.
Here are 2 of my cards that I have made this year.  I used some really cute stamps.  The snowmen are available on SimonSays online store.

Thanks for stopping by.
